Bulgaria To Romania By Train | Ruse to Bucharest 🇧🇬→🇷🇴 | Balkans Travel

In this video I take the train from Ruse, Bulgaria over the Danube River to Bucharest, Romania.
Included in the video are journey time, ticket price, crossing the Bulgarian/Romanian border (which happens to be the Danube river) and arriving in Bucharest's main train station Gara De Nord (Bucharest North Railway Station).
After spending a couple of days in Varna I learned this is the best way. The other option is to take a bus from Ruse bus station which is right next to the train station. Unfortunately for me I'd just missed the daily bus by a few minutes.
Passport control was as simple as could be. Getting on the train fron Ruse was the first check by the Bulgarian authorities. Once crossing the Danube the Romanian authorities came on board and took our passports. They gave them back after 15 minutes and we were on our way to Bucharest.

Romania is my 2nd country as I travel through the Balkans.
Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. I had an amazing time. I'll definitely go back and see more 👍

Love it Paul. Would you believe we just booked a trip to Romania last night for March. We are flying into Bucharest then travelling up to Poiana Brasov for a bit of skiing and to see Bran Castle aka Dracula's Castle. Can't wait to see you content on Romania mate.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

😂😂😂 what are the chances. Keep watching about 2 or 3 videos later Brasov and Bran castle. You're gonna love it there. Stunning places. Hopefully you'll get a few tips. Like how to beat the line into Bran castle by walking backwards into the exit 😂

[@brasswhale]

Looking forward to them mate. 😁👍

The police border control your bagage?

[@TranmereTV]

Can you point me the dirextion of the timetable for this journey please? I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find anything concrete.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

If I remember correctly it was on the CFR web page which is the Romanian train system. I wasn't so sure myself until I arrived at the station. There are buses which are quicker though I'd just missed one.

Is it possible to cross those borders only with your ID card or you need passport ?

[@hakanersoy7914]

If you are an EU citizen your official ID card is enough to cross between the borders of BG and RO.

[@VienerVideos]

How many hours needs to go to Bucharest from Ruse? Train or Taxi which is better? I am a traveler from India 🇮🇳

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Can't remember if it's 4 or 6 hours. It's all in the video it's only 6 minutes long have a look and decide for yourself 👍

[@VienerVideos]

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

@@VienerVideos Safe trip whichever way you decide. Bus was fine for me 👍
